From Feuds to Fractured Friendships: Where the RHORI Cast Stands After That Explosive Season 1 Finale

Throughout the first season of RHORI, fans witnessed Jo-Ellen sharing fellow cast member Rulla’s husband, Brian, and his alleged “mistress” updates. While mending her relationship with her mother, Jo-Ellen could also see her friendship growing with Rulla. She told Bravo, “I do think that Rulla and I could have a friendship definitely down the road. I think she’s a nice person. I feel horrible for what she’s going through and, you know, if she needs somebody to talk to, I would always be there.”

Rosie revealed that her friendship with Kelsey was “under construction.” Seeing how the two were in a “solid place” when the first season ended, Liz noted that Rosie didn’t look “very convinced.” As for Rosie and her husband, Rich DiMare’s latest relationship update, she noted that she had “no plans to have children.” So, the two had held off adding the nursery to their currently ongoing renovation project.

Fans witnessed Liz and Jo-Ellen letting go of their differences by the end of the first season. Since then, she has welcomed her stepdaughter, Brianna’s new-born baby girl, and became, “Gigi.” After welcoming Brianna’s husband, a son-in-law, Liz and Gerry McGraw have been spending their time with granddaughter. While on Andy Cohen’s WHHL, Liz noted that she had been “obsessed” with her granddaughter and that she is “just pure love.” Along with her, Gary has also been “addicted” to her.

Since the RHORI Season 1 ended, Ashley’s been busy taking on multiple brand deals across social media. However, what she’s unable to do, was to get her husband Jared Haibon, to let go of Audrey’s Coffee House & Lounge. While the lease for the cafe is up this year, Ashley shared, “I think that if you had to ask us right now, we would say that we’re not gonna re-sign the lease. It’s just too much work and too little money.” She added that she wasn’t unsure, if her husband would do it again. The reason was because, there was “such little revenue to be had.”

Fans must remember Alicia’s long-time fiancé, Billy Kitsilis’s re-proposal from the RHORI finale. The two are “planning their wedding,” as of right now. The two initially engaged nine years ago. As for their professional lives, Alicia shared that she has “taken more control over Pizza Mamma” and has also been working on a “crack-ah line of her own.” She also got a new engagement ring from Billy after the cameras stopped rolling. While Billy referred to her as her “soul mate,” Alicia noted that she would “die” if he were to ever leave her. However, she also added that the two had their “issues” like any other relationship. 

For Kelsey’s after-show update, she shared that her relationship with William L’Europa aka, Bill, has been “growing,” her ex is “no longer paying her rent.” Additionally, she has also learned “how to write a check.” Referring to her major lifestyle change, which was moving from a 16,000 square foot home to an apartment, she noted that “it’s exciting in all the best ways, too. The good outweighs the bad, really.” Talking about Bill, Kelsey stated that he is “very, very generous” and “kind and sweet.” He “probably loves me more than anyone I’ve ever met in my life, other than my parents.”

In October 2025, a local news reported that Rulla’s husband, Brian, had pleaded “not guilty” to a misdemeanor domestic violence charge. Rulla charged a “no-contact order” against him. Referring to that, she told Bravo, “Brian, unfortunately, was arrested for tacking me in my car, and apparently, that falls under domestic violence in the state of Rhode Island. It’s considered like, stalking.” Despite the situation, Rulla told Andy Cohen that she and Brian are “still together” and that their marriage is “better than ever.” Breaking her silence on the alleged affair, she noted that it was “in the past.”
